Era Motorsport is broadening its racing activities in North America by debuting in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America during this week’s IMSA SportsCar Weekend at Road America with drivers Kenton King, Sabré Cook, and Dan Clarke. This move follows their previous team’s withdrawal from the Carrera Cup, prompting Era Motorsport to step in and support the drivers for the remainder of the 2024 season. Cook and Clarke transitioned to the Carrera Cup Pro Class in 2023 after successful careers in open-wheel racing. Clarke has achieved three top-five finishes this season, while Cook leads the Female points standings. King, competing in the Pro-Am class, has secured three podium finishes so far this year. Era Motorsport’s entry into the Carrera Cup signifies their commitment to expanding their presence in professional and historic racing, with plans for potential growth in the series in the future. Despite the challenges of changing teams mid-season, the drivers express their gratitude and excitement for the opportunity and remain focused on their points championships for the latter part of the season.
